Amazing wedding venue

I can't begin to explain how amazing Amy and the Cookridge Hall staff were. Amy communicated with us every step of the way and made a nervous person like myself feel calm and reassured. We got to decide all of our own decorations and Amy arranged pretty much all of the actual organisation and scheduling. All we had to do on the day was show up and greet our guests. We had around 44 guests in the end and it was the perfect number for the beautiful Conservatory.

We had our evening reception at cookridge Hall health and fitness following our wedding in Mexico. The room looked amazing and we had a fantastic night. Everyone commented on how the venue was lovely and how great the food was. Nothing was too much trouble for Mel and Michelle and they made us feel at ease through all the planning and always quick to replying to questions and queries. We would recommend to anyone. Thank you so much!

We loved the venue from the first time we saw it

We held our wedding breakfast and evening reception at Cookridge Hall in May 2016. Michelle and Claire were fantastic throughout, particularly in helping to arrange our menu catering for vegetarians and vegans, as well as answering my endless questions and queries. We loved the venue from the first time we saw it – the conservatory is so light and airy, the outside space is great and safe for kids to run around and the adults lounge is the perfect space for people to sit and chat. On the day the venue looked great, the food was spot on and everything ran smoothly. All of the staff were so friendly and worked tirelessly to ensure our day was the best it could be. We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend Cookridge Hall.

Perfect Evening Reception

We chose Cookridge Hall for our homecoming Reception following our Wedding in Mexico. The venue was decorated beautifully with our colour scheme and with the added blessing of good weather, we were able to capitalise on the patio and grounds. The evening was perfect with all our guests commenting on how wonderful it was. Special thanks go to Mel and the team, not forgetting the kitchen staff for the amazing food, for making our evening as perfect as it could have been. Thank you so much!

The day couldn't have been any more perfect

We had our beautiful wedding reception at Cookridge Hall in April 2015. In the run up to the wedding Claire and Michelle were so helpful: lots of ideas and always available to a neurotic list-writing bride to be! The day couldn't have been any more perfect, the food was incredible, all of our decorations had been placed, everything ran incredibly smoothly and was great value for money. Not sure who to thank, but we even got a glorious day of sunshine to play lawn games outside! Cannot recommend highly enough.

We had a fantastic day

We had our wedding breakfast and evening reception at Cookridge Hall this April. We had a fantastic day and it was in no small part to the efforts of Michelle and Mel. Preparations for the day were well organised and thorough - with everything accommodated to a standard that we expected. The conservatory looked fantastic and there was plenty of space for our guests; both in the garden and lounge area. My wife and I would heartily recommend Cookridge Hall to anyone in search of a Wedding reception venue; it made our day!
